NCT ID: NCT05977530

Last Updated: 2025-02-28

Results Overview

Assessment of whether children demonstrates ability to engage independently and safely in water, without adult assistance. This was measured through a standardized behavioral observation of children's behavior in a swimming pool. It was scored in a binary fashion as "yes" or "no", with each child in the study scored either "yes" or "no".

• Recruitment status: COMPLETED
• Study phase: NA
• Target enrollment: 50 participants
• Primary outcome timeframe: at completion of training intervention program, an anticipated average of 4 weeks
